So this week and the next this is my plan:

1. No more than 1,300 calories a day

2. No more than 10 grams of fat a day

3. Must do weight lifting, squats, situps and leg lifting Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and  Friday

4. Must do running/jumproping/jumpjacking Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

5. No sweets except for one day of the week.

6. Drink a alot more iced water

Anyone wanna join with me? I think the guidelines are pretty simple to follow.

Goal weight loss in the next two weeks - 15 pounds

I know its not very realistic, but i have to lose a lot of weight by June 10th ish, and I am determined!

Today's Intake:

-6 strawberries = approximately 15 calories, 0 grams fat

-iced water = 0 calories, 0 grams fat

-1 Cup Raisin Bran w/ 3/4 Cup Skim Milk = 307.5 calories, 4 grams fat

-Venti Coffee Frappucino Light = 180 calories, 10 grams fat

-Salad from Whole Foods (pasta and salmon, greek salad, some cheese) = unkown amount of calories and fat. I will predict 500 calories and 10 grams of fat. I'd rather round up than round down.

-Hot Chocolate = 150 calories, 3.5 grams fat

Calories total = 1152.5 calories, 27.5 grams of fat

Oops!! that was way over my plan!! I will do better tomorrow.

I must be strict. I must be disciplined. But also healthy.

Have a great day girls!!

1 Peter 1:17-21 "Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, and so your faith and hope are in God. "

So Tuesday night was amazing. Since my birthday dinner didnt work out since I got sick, we went to
Mon Ami Gaby again. I ordered mint tea, escargots, and smoked salmon (both were apetizers). I love ordering two apetizers cuz its the same amount of food as ordering a main course but you get to eat different foods. The food was yummy! I love smoked salmon and they served it with capers, which makes it really good. the baguette they gave us was good cuz its baguette, but kinda hard. oh well. My mom ordered this baked bread (really yummy, i think it had some kind of pesto or some other sauce on it, maybe garlic?) that came with a cheese and tomato dipping sauce. it looked like tomato soup, but it had cheese in it as well. I tried the bread but not the sauce. She also got scallops. I had 1 and a half of one. I'm not sure if i've ever had scallops before. They were good - a little bit sweet, chewy, very nice. But i'm not sure if I would ever order them on my own. We ordered dessert to go. I got white chocolate bread pudding. They put it in a container with vanilla ice cream and i think caramel.Whatever it was, it was good! My mom ordered chocolate mousse, and that came with these little round chocolate crunchy candies. I'm not sure exactly what they were either, but that chocolate mousse was made from real chocolate, you could really taste it, and it was yummmy. I just had a bite. I also wanted some coffee so we stopped by Starbucks on the way home. I got a tall honey latte, I wanted to try it, it was really sweet and yummy. I like. My mom usually doesnt get coffee at night but after I ordered she decided to get what I got.

So that was my birthday dinner

My mom wanted to go to sleep pretty much right away when we got home, such an early sleeper she is, but I stayed up and watched a movie I got in the mail. I have an account with blockbuster online cuz I love film and this plan is awesome! I watched a movie from 1962 starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford called, "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"

It was very interesting, and kind of terrifyingly sad. I want to watch it again, cuz I like to watch movies (unless they're really bad and not worth my time) twice before returning it. It was kind of hard to watch, but i'll get through it.

My fruit and veggie fast didnt work. I have been eating fruit, just not only fruit. I havent eaten any of the vegetables. I really need to eat everything before it goes bad. So I willl attempt to do so.

i might do that fast again. But i'm not sure when.

My brother doesnt have school tomorrow. He gets out for spring break. He and his girlfriend are taking a school trip to Egypt, and my mom is also going. So I am driving them to the airport Saturday morning - early, which i'm glad of. It will help me get up and start my day, and i've been wanting to get up earlier anyway, its just hard to cuz i like sleeping. They will be gone for about 10 days. i'll have the house to myself for ten days!!! woohoo!

I am taking advantage of this, and that same saturday they leave, i am going to focus on cleaning my room. I can clean so much better when I have the house to myself. I dont know why that is, but it is. I am also going to clean the bathroom and my brother will not be here to make it a mess. Normally we use diffferent bathrooms, but his shower is broken, so he's been using mine. I can deal with it, I just constantly have to move his stuff. So his stuff will not be in my way and after i clean the bathroom it is guaranteed clean for atleast ten days. Yay!!

When my mom returns from Egypt, we are probably going to do the detox diet for three weeks. This is how it goes:

First week - cut out all sweets

Second week - cut out all sweets as well as meat (i think you can have fish though) and all carbs (bread, cereal, pasta, etc. cuz obviously fruit has carbs but we can still eat fruit)

Third week - Two meals of the day will be the same as second week, but one meal will be like first week (no sweets, but can have a regular meal besides that).

This will be hard for me cuz i really love chocolate and other sweets. but i know i can do it!!!

have a great and healthy day everyone! Love you all so much!!!

I will return comments later on

1 Peter 1:10-12 "Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.  It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things."
